Marine west coast is a odd name.

The only place I've spent a full year in is Sweden. I can't judge other climates.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Subarctic is NOT Tundra.  I love Whitehorse, but when I did visit the Tundra I couldn't imagine living there. :ultra:

You should take an exchange job in Siberia. It could be turned into a lighthearted, inoffensive comedy series. "Siberian Exposure" or something. :)

Something between Mediterranean and Marine West Coast. I guess San Francisco or Oregon?

How could SF be anyone's ideal climate? Fog and chilly temps in summer. :x

Yes, I know, but I grouped them together because I knew only you would be crazy enough to vote for either one.  :hug:

I like fog and rain, we hardly get any of those here. And I hate 35-40º C summers.

If I ever move though, the place has to be wind-free. I fucking hate wind.

You are hardly a human being.

Since I am born and raised in central Texas I really cannot stand anywhere with low humidity.  I am just so used to it being humid whenever it is not my skin gets so dry and my lips chap.  I hate it.

I could probably do without the extreme heat, that is why I answered the way I did.

I'm the opposite of this. I grew up in the humid hellishness and now I can't go back. My god, I even lived in Houston for two years. :bleeding: Basically, my requirements are:

1: Cold enough to need a jacket or coat for a significant portion of the year.

2: Humidity as low as possible.

3: Altitude preferably high. I like climbing mountains.


So, nothing east of Denver will do.

Whatever SF Bay Area is.  The climate seems somewhere between the examples in Med and Marine Northwest.

LA seemed nice in autumn. Only was in the area for a week though. Still, went with "Mediterranean."
